DENTURES In Tustin, CA

Schedule Your Appointment Today

Dentures are removable replacements for missing teeth that can be removed at any time for cleaning or sleep. At Marta Rudat, DDS, we custom-make dentures from impressions of your mouth and can replace one tooth, a few teeth, or even all of your natural teeth at once. Our dentist will make a custom-fit set of dentures that snap onto your remaining natural teeth, gums, or be set onto a prepared implant for a secure fit.


Over time, your jawbone and gum tissues will naturally shrink, causing your dentures to lose their grip and slip out at inopportune moments. This is why it is essential to visit our dentist regularly to have your dentures adjusted to ensure maximum comfort. Our dentist may suggest adding dental implants to stabilize and improve your oral health if you are currently wearing complete dentures.


We offer custom-made partial and full dentures to fit your mouth securely and comfortably. Our team of experienced professionals, led by Dr. Marta Rudat, uses precise procedures to ensure that your dentures have a natural look and function.

Types of Dentures

There are two main types of dentures: partial and complete.


A partial denture is for people with some natural teeth remaining. A partial replaces one or more teeth and clasps around the remaining natural teeth to keep them in place. It’s held in place by a metal framework attached to the surrounding teeth. A partial might be your best option if you want something to replace multiple missing teeth.


Partial dentures can be made for patients with some remaining natural teeth. The metal framework is attached to your existing teeth to secure the dentures. These dentures are a great option for replacing multiple missing teeth without affecting the rest of your smile.

    Complete dentures replace all of the upper or lower teeth in the mouth. Some patients opt for a complete denture right after their remaining teeth are extracted so that they can chew food properly without pain, while others prefer to wait for their gums to heal first. Both removable and fixed options are available. A fixed option may be recommended if you have few or no remaining natural teeth on which a removable one to attach.


    Complete dentures are used to replace all the teeth on either the upper or the lower jaw. In our office in Tustin CA, we offer both removable and permanent options for full dentures. Fixed dentures are fixed to dental implants and can be removed for cleaning or sleeping. Removable dentures, on the other hand, can be removed for cleaning. Dr. Rudat can help you determine which type of dentures are best for your needs and oral hygiene.

The Procedure for Getting Dentures

There are many reasons why patients may need to replace their teeth. Some common causes include the following:


  • Advanced gum disease and tooth decay can cause the loss of teeth.
  • Injuries to the mouth may also cause tooth loss. This can result from injuries from sports, falls, car accidents, or fights.
  • Genetics may play a role in your likelihood of losing teeth, and they may need to be replaced.
  • If you suffer from certain medical conditions such as cancer, diabetes, stroke, or heart disease, you may need to replace your teeth when they get damaged or infected.

Dentures can lose their tight fit over time as the gums and jawbone shrink. Regular visits to Dr. Marta Rudat for adjustments are essential. Contact our dentist as soon as possible if your dentures slip or cause discomfort. Dr. Rudat can recommend dental implants in some cases to stabilize dentures. This will provide a better fit, and improve your oral health.

How to Care for Your Dentures

Dentures need to be maintained and cared for properly in order to maintain their longevity and oral health. Maintaining a daily routine is essential, whether you wear partial or full dentures. You should remove your dentures before bed to allow your gums to rest. Gently brush them to remove any food particles or plaque. Rinse your dentures thoroughly before placing them in your mouth. To ensure that your dentures fit properly, it's important to see Dr. Rudat for regular adjustments and checkups. Contact our dentist if your dentures are damaged or uncomfortable as soon as possible.

Dental Implants vs. Traditional Dentures

It's important to take into account your lifestyle and needs when deciding whether you should choose traditional dentures or dental implants. Full dentures that are traditional are usually removable and more affordable. This makes them a popular option for many patients. They can slip at times or need adhesives to keep them in place. On the other hand, dental implants offer a permanent solution. The implants provide a stable foundation for dentures that eliminates slippage and improves your ability to speak and chew. Marta Rudat DDS can help you decide whether traditional or implant-supported dentures are best for you.

Understanding Dentures Costs


Costs of partial and full dentures vary according to several factors. These include the materials used and the complexity and difficulty of the procedure. Marta Rudat DDS strives to offer affordable denture options without compromising quality. Dr. Rudat can discuss the cost of your denture treatment and any available financing or payment options. You should also check with your dental insurer to see if some denture costs are covered. We are ready to answer any questions that you might have about the financial aspects of your denture treatment.

Dentures: Common Myths


Dentures are often misunderstood by patients, making them hesitant to pursue this treatment. Dentures are often thought to be uncomfortable and unnatural looking. The latest advances in dental technology allow for partial dentures and complete dentures to look and feel like natural teeth. Dentures are not just for older adults. Dentures are a viable option for patients of any age who have lost their teeth because of an injury, disease, or another reason. Our staff and Dr. Rudat are available to answer any questions or concerns you may have about dentures.

What to Expect When Transitioning to Dentures


It can take a while to adjust to dentures, but the transition will be seamless with the proper support and guidance. You may initially experience discomfort as your mouth adapts to the new appliance. These issues are usually resolved with regular adjustments from Dr. Rudat and practice. You should also follow a mild diet at first and then gradually introduce more challenging food as you get used to your dentures. Marta Rudat DDS is dedicated to helping you through the entire transition process. We want you to feel comfortable and confident with your new smile.

Regular Denture Check-ups are Important


It's important to visit Dr. Rudat regularly, even if your dentures are comfortable and fit well. Your dentures might need to be adjusted over time as the shape of your teeth changes. Regular visits will allow Dr. Rudat the opportunity to monitor your dental health and make sure that your dentures function correctly. Any problems can be dealt with promptly to prevent discomfort and complications. Contact our office if you need to have your dentures checked.
